Fond du Lac County Register in Probate Guide

Wisconsin sets the probate filing fee by statute (Wis. Stat. 814.66). The fee to commence a proceeding in the estate of a deceased person is $20 if the net value of the property subject to administration is $10,000 or less, and 0.2 percent (0.002) of the net value if more than $10,000. The fee is paid at the time the inventory or other document setting forth the net value is filed. Certified copy, recording, and publication costs are separate. Verify current amounts with the Fond du Lac County Register in Probate before relying on a figure.
